The canal house is located just above a really cool local restaurant/hangout on the canal. The room faces a colorful courtyard, and the balcony is a lovely spot to sit. The room is just like the photos- clean, bright, and modern.
The location in Bangkok is perfect. 10 minute walk to Wat Arun, and from there it’s easy to take the ferry to the other famous sights across the river. Affordable taxis get you everywhere else, and it’s nice to have a quiet oasis in the big city.
But the best part of this stay was the community we were welcomed into. You enter through a small and beautiful temple and adjacent school. Aunt Tina met us and got us settled. Neighbors clearly knew we were foreigners staying with Ohm and Title (co-hosts) and smiled in welcome. The narrow alleys and side canals are lush and picturesque and the ice cream shop is not to be missed.
We were lucky to spend some time with Ohm, who reminded us how much we have in common.
